The Colonnade Bar

£8–£20barBrighton Centre, Brighton

Victorian basement bar near the Theatre Royal, dark, quiet, and full of old Brighton character.

£8–£20 per person

Unchanged for decades and proud of it. The Colonnade sits beneath the pavement near the Theatre Royal, all red banquettes, old theatrical photos, and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look slightly better than they are.

A proper pre-theatre or afternoon drink spot. No loud music, no entertainment, just a very decent bar doing its job well. Brighton's theatre crowd has been coming here for generations.
